9,000,000 Shares of Common Stock Underlying 9,000,000 Warrants

This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information contained in the prospectus dated June 15, 2023 (as supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-256137).

Accordingly, we have attached the Form 10-Q to this prospectus supplement.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

Our Common Stock, Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants and Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants are listed on the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) under the symbols “MIMO”, “MIMO WSA” and “MIMO WSB”, respectively.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 6 of the Prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places, including, but not limited to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements represent our reasonable judgment of the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “project” and other words of similar meaning. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following:

●

our expected financial and business performance;

●

changes in our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, forecasts, projected costs, prospects and plans;

●

the implementation, market acceptance and success of our products;

●

demand for our products and the drivers of that demand;

●

our estimated total addressable market and other industry projections, and our projected market share;

●

competition in our industry, the advantages of our products and technology over competing products and technology existing in the market, and competitive factors including with respect to technological capabilities, cost and scalability;

●

our ability to scale in a cost-effective manner and maintain and expand our manufacturing relationships;

●

our ability to enter into production supply agreements with customers, the terms of those agreements, and customers’ utilization of our products and technology;

●

our expected reliance on our significant customers;

●

developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry, including with respect to investment in 5G networks;

●

our expectation that we will incur substantial expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future and that we will incur increased expenses as a public company;

●

the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and industry and the actions we may take in response thereto;

●

our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others;

●

expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”);

●

our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash;

●

our ability to obtain funding for our operations;

●

our business, expansion plans and opportunities;

●

anticipated financial performance, including gross margin, and the expectation that our future results of operations will fluctuate on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable future;

●

expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue and other future expenses, and the sources of funds to satisfy our liquidity needs; and

●

the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

●

the ability to maintain the listing of our securities on the NYSE American or any other exchange;

●

the price of our securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the industries in which we operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting our business and changes in our capital structure;

●

the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which we operate;

●

our substantial indebtedness and our ability to secure additional liquidity;

●

the risk that we and our current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize our products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so;

●

the risk that we do not achieve or sustain profitability;

●

the risk that we will need to raise additional capital to execute our business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all;

●

the risk that we experience difficulties in managing our growth and expanding operations;

●

the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations;

●

the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to our products and services; and

●

the risk that we are unable to secure or protect our intellectual property.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks set forth in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Quarterly Report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BUSINESS

Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) designs and produces wireless network equipment for 4G and 5G networks for both mainstream public telecommunications service providers and private network implementations. Airspan provides Radio Access Network (“RAN”) products based on Open Virtualized Cloud Native Architectures that support technologies including 5G new radio (“5G NR”) and Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”), and Fixed Wireless standards, operating in licensed, lightly-licensed and unlicensed frequencies.

The market for the Company’s wireless systems includes mobile carriers, other public network operators and private and government network operators for command and control in industrial and public safety applications such as smart utilities, defense, transportation, mining and oil and gas. The Company’s strategy applies the same network technology across all addressable sectors.

The Company’s main operations are in Slough, United Kingdom; Mumbai and Bangalore, India; Tokyo, Japan; Airport City, Israel; Santa Clara, California; and the Company’s corporate headquarters are in the United States (“U.S.”) in Boca Raton, Florida.

On August 13, 2021 (the “Closing”), the Company (formerly New Beginnings Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) consummated its previously announced business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated March 8, 2021, by and among the Company, Artemis Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Airspan Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Airspan”). In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name to Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Airspan”, the “Company”, “us”, “we”, “our” and any related terms prior to the Closing of the Business Combination are intended to mean Legacy Airspan and its consolidated subsidiaries, and after the Closing of the Business Combination, Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “New Beginnings” and “NBA” are references to New Beginnings Acquisition Corp., the Company’s name prior to the Closing.

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, NBA sold 11,500,000 warrants each exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Public Warrants”), and 545,000 warrants each exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”).

Mimosa Sale

On March 8, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Mimosa Purchase Agreement”) with Airspan Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Seller”), Mimosa Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (“Mimosa”), and Radisys Corporation, an Oregon corporation (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Seller will sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Mimosa to Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $60.0 million in cash (subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Mimosa Purchase Agreement) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Mimosa Purchase Agreement (the “Mimosa Sale”). On July 22, 2023, the parties to the Mimosa Purchase Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement to amend the Mimosa Purchase Agreement to extend the Termination Date (as defined in the Mimosa Purchase Agreement), which is the date that the Mimosa Purchase Agreement may be terminated by either the Buyer or the Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if the closing shall not have occurred on or prior to such date, to August 15, 2023. We anticipate that the closing will occur in August 2023.

The accounting requirements for reporting the Mimosa business as held for sale were met, however, the requirements for discontinued operations were not met. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of the Mimosa business as held for sale for the periods presented.

Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Airspan IP Holdco LLC (“Holdco”) – 99.8% owned by Airspan. Non-controlling interest in the results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority stockholders’ share of the profit or loss of Holdco. The non-controlling interest in net assets of this subsidiary, and the net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest, were not recorded by the Company as they are considered immaterial. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Liquidity

The Company has historically incurred losses from operations. In the past, these losses have been financed through cash on hand or capital raising activities including borrowings or the sale of newly issued shares.

The Company had $75.0 million of current assets and $78.0 million of current liabilities as of June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company used $12.2 million in cash flow from operating activities. The Company is investing heavily in 5G research and development and the Company expects to continue to use cash from operations during the remainder of 2023 and through the first half of 2024. Cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our Assignment Agreement, Resignation and Assignment Agreement and Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, and otherwise supplemented and modified, the “Fortress Credit Agreement”) with DBFIP ANI LLC (“Fortress”) (see Notes 8 and 10) may not allow the Company to reasonably expect to meet its forecasted cash requirements.

In order to address the need to satisfy the Company’s continuing obligations and realize its long-term strategy, management has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, including the following:

●

focusing the Company’s efforts to increase sales in additional geographic markets;

●

continuing to develop 5G product offerings that will expand the market for the Company’s products;

●

focusing the Company’s efforts to improve days sales outstanding to provide additional liquidity;

●

selling the Mimosa business for approximately $60.0 million; and

●

continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce non-strategic costs in operations and expand the Company’s labor force in lower cost geographies, with headcount reductions in higher cost geographies.

There can be no assurance that the above actions will be successful. Without additional financing or capital, the Company’s current cash balance would be insufficient to satisfy repayment demands from its lenders if the lenders elect to declare the senior term loan and the senior secured convertible notes due prior to the maturity date. There is no assurance that the new or renegotiated financing will be available, or that if available, will have satisfactory terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Global Economic Conditions

The Company has experienced supply chain disruptions and inflationary impacts across our businesses, driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and resulting economic sanctions, and general macroeconomic factors. These factors have increased our operating costs. While the Company is taking actions to respond to the supply chain disruptions, inflationary environment, and global demand dynamics, we may not be able to enact these measures in a timely manner, or the measures may not be sufficient to offset the increase in costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Significant Concentrations

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial instruments. The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from sales of its products and approximately 74.2% and 50.7% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and approximately 78.3% and 57.9% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Two customers accounted for $18.5 million, or 54.7%, of the net accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2023 and two customers accounted for $24.5 million, or 50.9% of the net accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2022. The Company requires payment in advance or payment security in the form of a letter of credit to be in place at the time of shipment, except in cases where credit risk is considered to be acceptable. The Company’s top three customers accounted for 74% and 70% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 71% and 68% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had three customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the three-month period’s total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had two customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the six-month period’s total revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had two customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the three-month period’s total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had three customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the six-month period’s total revenue.

The Company received 96.8% and 94.3% of goods for resale from five suppliers in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company received 93.4% and 91.1% of goods for resale from five suppliers in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company outsources the manufacturing of its base station products to contract manufacturers and obtains subscriber terminals from vendors in the Asia Pacific region. In the event of a disruption to supply, the Company would be able to transfer the manufacturing of base stations to alternate contract manufacturers and has alternate suppliers for the majority of subscriber terminals.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This new standard must be adopted by the Company no later than December 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The potential adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (amended by ASU 2019-10), “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, regarding the measurement of credit losses for certain financial instruments.” which replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new guidance was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

There was no revenue recognized at a point in time for NRE services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For services performed on a customer’s owned asset, since the customer controls the asset being enhanced, revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. There was no revenue recognized over time for NRE services using a cost-based input method for the three months ended June 30, 2023. There was no revenue recognized over time for NRE services using a cost-based input method for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In the second quarter of 2023, as part of a strategic review of our operations, the Company implemented a cost reduction and restructuring program (the “2023 Restructuring Program”). The 2023 Restructuring Program was primarily comprised of entering into severance and termination agreements with employees. Formal announcements to the relevant employees were made in May, June and July 2023 and activities will be ongoing throughout the third and fourth quarter of 2023. The payments related to severance costs should be completed by March 31, 2024 and the payments related to the building costs should be completed by December 31, 2024.

Restructuring costs are presented separately on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents the restructuring costs recognized by the Company under the 2023 Restructuring Program during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. The Company did not incur any costs for restructuring during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company also recorded an inventory impairment charge of $7.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 which is included in cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of operations. A charge of $5.3 million relates to certain product initiatives that were eliminated or reduced as a result of the headcount reductions in the 2023 Restructuring Program and $1.9 million relates to an accrual for inventory on order for these eliminated or reduced product initiatives.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

The Company had goodwill of $13.6 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 resulting from a prior acquisition. Goodwill and Intangible assets, net are classified as Assets Held for Sale – Noncurrent at June 30, 2023.

Intangible assets, net consists of the following (in thousands):

HELD FOR SALE

As discussed in Note 1, on March 8, 2023 the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Seller, Mimosa, and Buyer, pursuant to which the Seller will sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Mimosa to Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $60,000,000 in cash (subject to customary adjustments) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties subject to specified exceptions and qualifications. Each party’s obligations to consummate the Transaction pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions as set out in the Mimosa Purchase Agreement, including, among others, approval of the Transaction by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, approval of the Transaction by the Competition Authority of the Republic of Turkey, and approval of the Transaction by the senior lenders. The approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and the approval of the Competition Authority of the Republic of Turkey have been received, and the closing is anticipated to occur in August 2023.

The Company met the criteria for recording the Mimosa assets and liabilities as “held for sale” at June 30, 2023. Since the Company did not meet the criteria for held for sale at December 31, 2022, the assets and liabilities of the Mimosa group are recorded in their respective categories.

The assets and liabilities of the disposal group, Mimosa, were evaluated to determine whether the carrying amounts should be adjusted in accordance with other GAAP standards. After adjusting the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, the disposal group as a whole is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets in the disposal group will not be recorded during the period in which the disposal group meets the criteria for held for sale.

The unaudited condensed balance sheet of Mimosa at June 30, 2023 is as follows:

SUBORDINATED DEBT

On August 6, 2015, Legacy Airspan issued Golden Wayford Limited a $10.0 million subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Golden Wayford Note”) pursuant to a Subordinated Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. The Golden Wayford Note was amended and restated on November 28, 2017, to reduce the interest rate thereon and to reflect the application of the payment of $1.0 million of principal on such note. The Golden Wayford Note had an original maturity date of February 16, 2016, which through subsequent amendments was extended to June 30, 2020. The conversion rights related to this agreement expired on its maturity date, June 30, 2020, and on this date the loan was reclassified from subordinated convertible debt to subordinated debt.

The principal and accrued interest under the Golden Wayford Note would have been automatically converted into common shares at the time of the next equity financing and consummated prior to, on or after the maturity date (June 30, 2020). Such conversion right expired in accordance with its term. Interest accrues at 5.0% per annum and is payable quarterly, however, because such payment is prohibited by the terms of the subordination, interest is (in accordance with the terms of the related promissory note) paid in kind.

The Golden Wayford Note is subordinate to the obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement (see Note 10). A limited waiver under the Fortress Credit Agreement waives each actual and prospective default and event of default existing under the Fortress Credit Agreement directly as a result of the non-payment of the Golden Wayford Note. The Company had subordinated debt outstanding of $9.0 million, plus $2.4 million and $2.1 million of accrued interest as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

SUBORDINATED TERM LOAN – RELATED PARTY

On February 9, 2016, Legacy Airspan entered into a $15.0 million subordinated term loan agreement with a related party (the “Subordinated Term Loan Agreement”) that was due to mature on February 9, 2018. On July 12, 2016, Legacy Airspan entered into an additional $15.0 million Amendment No. 1 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that was due to mature on February 9, 2018. On July 3, 2017, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to June 30, 2019. On May 23, 2019, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to December 31, 2020. On March 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to December 31, 2021. On December 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to the later of (a) December 30, 2024 and (b) 365 days after the maturity date of the Fortress Credit Agreement (as in effect on December 30, 2020) (see Note 10). The term loan is subordinate to the Fortress Credit Agreement (see Note 10).

Prior to May 23, 2019, interest accrued at 2.475% per annum and was payable quarterly. In accordance with the amendments below, the interest rate changed as follows:

(a)

Amendment No. 3, on May 23, 2019, the interest rate changed to 9.0% per annum to be accrued;

(b)

Amendment No. 4, on March 30, 2020, the interest rate changed to 9.0% per annum through December 31, 2020 and from and after January 1, 2021, at a rate of 12.0% per annum to be accrued; and

(c)

Amendment No. 5, on December 30, 2020, the interest rate from January 1, 2021 and thereafter changed to 9.0% per annum to be accrued, subject to reversion to 12.0% if a condition subsequent is not satisfied. The subsequent condition was satisfied.

The principal and accrued interest may be repaid early without penalty.

The Company had a subordinated term loan outstanding of $30.0 million, plus $13.4 million and $11.5 million of accrued interest as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The subordinated term loan is classified as long-term at June 30, 2023 as the Company is in compliance with the Fortress covenants. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the subordinated term loan was classified as current as the Company had breached covenants with Fortress.

SENIOR TERM LOAN

On December 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan, together with Holdco, Airspan Networks (SG) Inc., Mimosa Networks, Inc., Mimosa Networks International, LLC, Airspan Communications Limited, Airspan Networks LTD, and Airspan Japan K.K., as guarantors, together with the other parties thereto, entered into an assignment agreement, whereby Pacific Western Bank (“PWB”) and Ally Bank assigned their interests in a loan facility under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Legacy Airspan (the “PWB Facility”) to certain new lenders (the “Assignment Agreement”), and PWB entered into a resignation and assignment agreement (the “Agent Resignation Agreement”) pursuant to which PWB resigned in its capacity as agent under all of the transaction documents and Fortress became the successor agent (as defined in the Agent Resignation Agreement), replacing PWB in such capacity under the PWB Facility. The Assignment Agreement and the Agent Resignation Agreement, along with a Reaffirmation and Omnibus Amendment, resulted in the amendment and restatement of the terms of the PWB Facility as the Fortress Credit Agreement with the new lenders as the lenders thereunder. Fortress became the administrative agent, collateral agent and trustee for the lenders and other secured parties. At Closing, on August 13, 2021, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Waiver and Consent, Second Amendment, Restatement, Joinder and Omnibus Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress (the “August 2021 Fortress Amendment”) to, among other things, add the Company as a guarantor, recognize and account for the Business Combination, recognize and account for the Convertible Notes (see Note 11) and provide updated procedures for replacement of LIBOR. On March 29, 2022, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Third Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement. On May 18, 2023, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Limited Waiver and Consent, Second Amendment and Restatement of Credit Agreement and Reaffirmation of Loan Documents (the “May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment”) relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, (i) certain consents related to the Company’s previously disclosed divestiture of Mimosa, (ii) waive certain existing events of default under the Fortress Credit Agreement in the limited manner set forth therein, (iii) terminate the existing delayed draw term loan commitments under the Fortress Credit Agreement and establish new delayed draw term loan commitments in the aggregate amount of $25 million, (iv) modify the interest rates applicable to certain loans under the Fortress Credit Agreement, (v) provide for the issuance of 5,912,040 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Warrants”), (vi) amend certain financial covenants, (vii) provide for additional fees related to the Fortress Credit Agreement, and (viii) amend and restate the Fortress Credit Agreement. The Warrants provided for under the Fortress Credit Agreement were issued to certain lenders or their designees and will be exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Warrants have a term of 7.5 years and will become exercisable upon the earliest to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the issuance of the warrants, (ii) an “Acquisition” as defined in the Warrant, (iii) any debt financing or issuance of equity or instruments convertible into equity interests of the Company in which the Company receives in excess of $50 million in one or a series of related transactions, and (iv) any other strategic transactions, joint ventures, financings or combinations between the Company and one or more investors or third parties in which the Company or its subsidiaries receive in excess of $50 million in one or a series of related transactions.

With the May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment, the interest rates were increased to 5.5% plus SOFR to up to 8.5% for the paid in-kind interest. The maturity of the loan did not change. The Company accounted for the May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment as a loss on debt extinguishment of which $5.1 million is related to the senior term loan.

The Fortress Credit Agreement initial term loan total commitment of $34.0 million and a term loan commitment of $10.0 million were both funded to Legacy Airspan on December 30, 2020. Pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company may expand the term loan commitment by $25.0 million subject to the terms and conditions of the Fortress Credit Agreement. The maturity date of the total loan commitment is December 30, 2024. The Fortress Credit Agreement contains a prepayment premium of 5.0% if the prepayment occurs during the period from December 30, 2021 through December 29, 2022, and 3.0% if the prepayment occurs during the period from December 30, 2022 through December 29, 2023. The Fortress Credit Agreement also contained a prohibition on prepayment during the period from December 30, 2020 through December 29, 2021.

To secure its obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement, Fortress was assigned PWB’s security interest under the PWB Facility and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries granted Fortress as security for the obligations a security interest in (a) all of the real, personal and mixed property in which liens are granted or purported to be granted pursuant to any of the collateral documents as security for the obligations, (b) all products, proceeds, rents and profits of such property, (c) all of each loan party’s book and records (d) all of the foregoing whether now owned or existing, in each case excluding certain excluded assets.

The Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement each contains representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, which include, among other things, certain restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets, consummate business combinations (except for permitted investment, as defined in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, respectively), and make distributions. In addition, financial covenants apply. Prior to the May 2023 Fortress Credit Agreement Amendment and the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, these financial covenants included (a) minimum liquidity of an amount between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, depending on EBITDA performance levels and whether a default or event of default existed under the Fortress Credit Agreement, (b) minimum last twelve-month revenue and (c) minimum last twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”). Pursuant to the May 2023 Fortress Credit Agreement Amendment, the financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement were amended to (i) decrease the required minimum liquidity to $2.0 million and, from and after the Closing Date, $4.0 million, (ii) modify the minimum revenue covenant levels and change to a three-month test period, and (iii) modify the minimum EBITDA covenant levels and change to a three-month test period. Revenue and EBITDA financial covenants are tested quarterly.

The Company was not in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month EBITDA covenant and the minimum last twelve-month revenue covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes as of the December 31, 2022 and the March 31, 2023 quarterly measurement dates, and the Company was not in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement at all times from November 29, 2022, until the date of the May 2023 Fortress Credit Agreement Amendment and the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, each of which is an event of default under those agreements. The Company did not make the payments due under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement on March 31, 2023, which was an event of default under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. Each of these defaults was waived pursuant to the May 2023 Fortress Credit Agreement Amendment and the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment.

Based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, the Company has concluded it may not be in compliance with certain of the prospective financial covenants under the May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes during certain periods of the next twelve months. Accordingly, while the Company may seek future waivers from compliance with the applicable covenants in connection with such anticipated breaches, or amendments of existing financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes, the Company is also pursuing alternative sources of capital so that it would be able to satisfy its prospective minimum liquidity obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes. There can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes will agree to waive any breaches thereunder that may arise in the future or that we will otherwise be able to remedy such breaches.

In the absence of waivers or remedies of existing covenant breaches or any additional breaches that may arise in the future, the lenders under the May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes could (i) elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other premiums, and institute foreclosure proceedings against the Company’s assets, (ii) elect to apply the default interest rate under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement and related agreements, and (iii) with respect to the Fortress Credit Agreement, elect to terminate their delayed draw commitments thereunder and cease making further loans. As a result of any of these actions, the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. In addition, the Company’s subordinated term loan – related party (see Note 9) and subordinated debt (see Note 8) could be accelerated or required to be paid due to provisions contained within those instruments.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement. Prior to June 30, 2023, the Company had breached certain covenants, but they were waived by the lender when the May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment was executed.

The Company’s senior term loan balance was $65.9 million and $44.1 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $6.4 million and $5.0 million, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Deferred financing fees of $2.7 million and $3.6 million are reflected as reductions of the outstanding senior term loan balance as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On August 13, 2021, the Company, together with Legacy Airspan, Holdco, Airspan Networks (SG) Inc., Mimosa Networks, Inc., Mimosa Networks International, LLC, Airspan Communications Limited, Airspan Networks LTD, and Airspan Japan K.K., as guarantors, and Fortress, entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “Fortress Convertible Note Agreement”), in order to meet the available cash requirement of the reverse recapitalization described in Note 3. Pursuant to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, $50.0 million was funded to the Company in exchange for the issuance of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes on August 13, 2021, the date of the reverse recapitalization, which amount was increased to $52.5 million under the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment. The Convertible Notes bear interest, prior to May 18, 2023, at 7.0% per annum, and from and after May 18, 2023, at 10.0% per annum (the “Base Rate”), payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 30, 2024, unless earlier accelerated, converted, redeemed or repurchased. Under certain circumstances, a default interest will apply following an event of default under the Convertible Notes at a per annum rate equal to the lower of (i) the Base Rate plus 3.75% and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Convertible Notes are pari passu in right of payment and lien priority with the obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement and are secured by a security interest in (a) all of the real, personal and mixed property in which liens are granted or purported to be granted pursuant to any of the collateral documents as security for the obligations, (b) all products, proceeds, rents and profits of such property, (c) all of each loan party’s book and records and (d) all of the foregoing whether now owned or existing, in each case excluding certain excluded assets.

On March 29, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement entered into a First Amendment and Waiver to Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement and Other Note Documents relating to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement and the Convertible Notes (the “March 2022 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment”) to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, amend the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and amend the optional redemption provisions of the Convertible Notes. On May 18, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement entered into a Limited Waiver and Consent, Third Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement and Reaffirmation of Note Documents (the “May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment”) to, among other things, (i) provide for certain consents relating to the Company’s previously disclosed divestiture of Mimosa, (ii) waive certain existing events of default under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement in the limited manner set forth therein, (iii) imposed a $2.5 million fee, which was capitalized to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to $52.5 million, (iv) increase the interest rate applicable to the Convertible Notes to 10.00%, and (v) provide for additional fees related to the Fortress Convertible Note Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Notes. On May 28, 2023, the Company reissued $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes.

With the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, the interest rates were increased to 10.0%. The maturity of the loan did not change. The Company accounted for the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment as a loss on debt extinguishment of which $3.2 million is related to the convertible debt.

Prior to the March 2022 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, were convertible, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount thereof (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon), into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $12.50 per share. Pursuant to the March 2022 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes was decreased to $8.00 per share. The conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and subdivisions, stock and other dividends and distributions, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations and other similar changes in capital structure. The conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes is also subject to a broad-based weighted average anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Company issues, or is deemed to have issued, shares of Common Stock, other than certain excepted issuances, at a price below the conversion price then in effect. In addition, pursuant to the March 2022 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, if, during the period commencing on and including the date of the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment and ending on and including the 15-month anniversary of the date of the March 2022 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, there is no 30 consecutive trading day-period during which the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (“Daily VWAP”) for such 30 consecutive trading day-period (after excluding the three highest and the three lowest Daily VWAPs during such period) equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, dividends, distributions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes will be reduced to the amount that such conversion price would otherwise have been had the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes been $6.00 on the date of the March 2022 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment.

The following is the allocation among the freestanding instruments (in thousands) at the issuance date:

Schedule of convertible notes	August 13, 2021

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value.

The Company has certain non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when there is an indicator of impairment, and they are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized. These assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, net. The Company did not record impairment to any non-financial assets in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Financial Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The table below sets forth information related to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial instruments (in thousands):

(a)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the subordinated term loan, subordinated debt and senior term loan considered the senior status of the senior term loan under the Fortress Credit Agreement, followed by the junior status of the subordinated term loan and subordinated debt. The implied yields of the subordinated term loan, subordinated debt and senior term loan were 34.45%, 40.74% and 32.19%, respectively, as of June 30, 2023 and 23.00%, 27.18% and 28.78%, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.

(b)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of warrants outstanding that are classified as liabilities are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The key inputs to the valuation models that were utilized to estimate the fair value of the Post-Combination Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2023 were as follows:

Schedule of assumptions	Post- Combination Warrants			Private Placement Warrants
Assumptions:
Stock price	$	0.17		$	0.17
Exercise price	$	12.50 – 17.50		$	11.50
Risk free rate		4.47	%		4.47	%
Expected volatility		84.2	%		84.2	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%

The conversion option derivative and call and contingent put derivative are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the utilization of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation. The Company utilized a binomial model to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative features requiring bifurcation associated with the Convertible Notes payable at the issuance date and as of the June 30, 2023 reporting date. The key inputs to the valuation models that were utilized to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative liabilities include:

	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Assumptions:
Stock price	$	0.17		$	1.31
Conversion strike price	$	8.00		$	8.00

Face amount (in thousands)	$	52,500		$	50,000
Contingent put inputs and assumptions:
Probability of fundamental change		50.00	%		33.00	%

The following table presents a roll-forward of the Level 3 instruments:

Beginning balance, December 31, 2022	$	36		$	3,052		$	2,301
Change in fair value		(35	)		(2,912	)		2,048
Ending balance, June 30, 2023	$	1		$	140		$	4,349

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate the carrying value because of the short-term nature of these accounts.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company had commitments with its main subcontract manufacturers under various purchase orders and forecast arrangements of $73.5 million as of June 30, 2023, of which $55.6 million relates to Mimosa. The majority of the commitments have expected delivery dates during the remainder of 2023.

Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company receives and reviews correspondence from third parties with respect to licensing their patents and other intellectual property in connection with the sale of the Company’s products. Disputes may arise with such third parties if an agreement cannot be reached regarding the licensing of such patents or intellectual property.

On October 14, 2019, Barkan Wireless IP Holdings, L.P. (“Barkan”) filed a suit against Sprint Corporation and related entities (“Sprint”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent infringement based in part on two of the Company’s products, Airave 4 and Magic Box Gold. See Barkan Wireless IP Holdings, L.P. v. Sprint Corporation et al, Case No. 2:19-cv-00336-JRG (E.D. Tex.). On March 26, 2021, after a settlement between Barkan and Sprint, the court granted an agreed motion to dismiss and the case was closed. Sprint has demanded that the Company indemnify Sprint $3,870,000 for a portion of the amounts Sprint paid to defend and settle the case. On April 27, 2021, Sprint gave notice that it intends to set-off amounts it owes the Company until Sprint’s indemnity demand is satisfied. The Company disputes Sprint’s indemnity demand and, on March 15, 2022, filed a complaint for breach of contract in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. See Airspan Networks, Inc. v. Sprint/United Management Company, Case No. 2:22-cv-02104-JAR-ADM (D. Kan.). That complaint was subsequently voluntarily dismissed by the Company and the underlying breach of contract claim is now a counterclaim in the matter captioned Sprint Communications Company, L.P et al. vs. Casa Systems, Inc. et al., No. 22CV02327 Div.7 pending in the District Court of Johnson County Kansas. On January 3, 2023, the parties settled this matter. The Company had previously provided for a reserve for an estimated amount of exposure related to this matter in a prior year.

Except as set forth above, the Company is not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings. The Company may from time to time become a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that it is not a party to any litigation the final outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

2021 Stock Incentive Plan

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company maintained its 2009 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan” and together with the 2021 Plan, the “Plans”). Upon Closing of the Business Combination, awards under the 2009 Plan were converted at the exchange ratio calculated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the 2021 Plan became effective.

The Company retained an approximate 4% holding of Dense Air Networks L.P. This conversion did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows.

There have been no dividends received from Dense Air or Dense Air Networks L.P. for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The investments had no value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” after the Closing of the Business Combination are to Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and prior to the Closing of the Business Combination are to Legacy Airspan and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case, except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”).

See the discussion of forward-looking statements and risk factors in Part I Item 1 and Item 1A of this report.

Overview

We are a U.S. headquartered, award-winning technical leader, in the 4G and 5G Radio Access Network (“RAN”) and broadband access solutions market. We offer a broad range of software defined radios, broadband access products and network management software to enable cost-effective deployment and efficient management of mobile, fixed and hybrid wireless networks. Our customers include leading mobile communications service providers (“CSPs”), large enterprises, military communications integrators and internet service providers (“ISPs”) working to deliver high-capability broadband access to numerous markets. Our mission is to disrupt and modernize network total cost of ownership (“TCO”) models. We aim to lower costs for customers throughout the product lifecycle, from procurement through commissioning and ongoing operating costs. We have been pioneering wireless technology for over 20 years and are distinguished by our deep customer relationships, innovative product design capabilities and expertise in solving technical challenges at the network edge, where a device or local network interfaces with the Internet or other networks.

In 4G mobile networks, we established ourselves as an expert in network densification by focusing on solving the problems associated with physically locating, installing and commissioning networks consisting of hundreds of thousands of small cells as an alternative and supplement to macro cell-based networks. Software-defined and cost-optimized radio platforms, self-organizing/optimization algorithms and minimum power consumption have been critical to our 4G business and are expected to be even more critical to the deployment and expansion of new 5G networks. As an early leader in 5G OPEN-RAN standards, we have worked to unbundle the monolithic network architectures previously dominated by large incumbent suppliers such as Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (“Ericsson”), Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”), and Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”). As a foundational member of the 5G ecosystem, we work closely with wireless operators, chipset suppliers and infrastructure vendors around the world on 5G developments, trials, pilots and initial 5G deployments.

We started our business in digital wireless access, primarily voice services, rapidly becoming a leader in high performance wireless data networks. Our acquisition of Mimosa Networks, Inc. (“Mimosa”) in 2018 strengthened our position in the wireless broadband access market. Mimosa’s capabilities and innovation in wireless broadband point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks strengthened our disruptive position in the mobile 4G/5G network densification space and expanded our existing North American presence with an engineering center in Silicon Valley. Mimosa’s channel-led sales strategy enhances the distribution of our existing products for specific vertical markets, such as private 4G and 5G and applications in citizens broadband radio service (“CBRS”). On March 8, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell the Mimosa business to one of Airspan’s major customers while retaining a reseller arrangement to continue to market and sell the Mimosa products. See Recent Developments section below.

Our main operations are in: Slough, United Kingdom; Mumbai and Bangalore, India; Tokyo, Japan; Airport City, Israel; and Santa Clara, California, and our corporate headquarters is in Boca Raton, Florida.

Global Economic Conditions

We have experienced supply chain disruptions and inflationary impacts across our businesses, driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and resulting economic sanctions, and general macroeconomic factors. These factors have increased our operating costs. While we are taking actions to respond to the supply chain disruptions, inflationary environment, and global demand dynamics, we may not be able to enact these measures in a timely manner, or the measures may not be sufficient to offset the increase in costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are revenue, cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, interest expense, income taxes and net income. To further help us assess our performance with these key indicators, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and expanded insight to measure our revenue and cost performance as a supplement to our GAAP consolidated financial statements. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Revenues

We derive the majority of our revenues from sales of our networking products, with the remaining revenue generated from software licenses and service fees relating to non-recurring engineering, product maintenance contracts and professional services for our products. We sell our products and services to end customers, distributors and resellers. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

Our top three customers accounted for 73.8% and 69.6% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had three customers and two customers, respectively, whose revenue was greater than 10% of the period’s total revenue.

Our sales outside the U.S. and North America accounted for 74.2% and 50.7% of our total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 78.3% and 57.9% of our total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following table identifies the percentage of our revenue by customer geographic region in the periods identified.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of component and material costs, direct labor costs, warranty costs, royalties, overhead related to manufacture of our products and customer support costs. Our gross margin is affected by changes in our product mix both because our gross margin on software and services is higher than the gross margin on base station related equipment, and because our different product lines generate different margins. In addition, our gross margin is affected by changes in the average selling price of our systems and volume discounts granted to significant customers. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact with disruptions to our supply chains, which have caused extended component lead times, increased component costs, as well as disruption and increased expenses in logistics. We expect the average selling prices of our existing products to continue to decline and we intend to continue to implement product cost reductions and develop and introduce new products or product enhancements in an effort to maintain or increase our gross margins. Further, we may derive an increasing proportion of our revenue from the sale of our integrated systems through distribution channels. Revenue derived from these sales channels typically carries a lower gross margin than direct sales.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel and expenses for design, development, testing facilities and equipment depreciation. These expenses also include costs associated with product development efforts, including consulting fees and prototyping costs from initial product concept to manufacture and production as well as sub-contracted development work. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries and related costs for personnel, sales commissions, consulting and agent’s fees and expenses for advertising, travel, technical assistance, trade shows, and promotional and demonstration materials. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenditures related to sales and marketing activities.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for our personnel, audit, professional and consulting fees and facilities costs.

Restructuring costs

Restructuring costs consist primarily of employee termination benefits.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest associated with the Convertible Notes, two subordinated loan facilities and our senior secured credit facility, which consists of a term loan and delayed draw commitment. Interest on the term loan was determined based on the highest of a LIBOR rate, the commercial lending rate of the collateral agent and the federal funds rate, plus an applicable margin. Interest on the delayed draw commitment was based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. The LIBOR rates were replaced with SOFR rates pursuant to the May 2023 Fortress Credit Agreement Amendment and the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The senior term loan and convertible debt were amended with the May 2023 Fortress Credit Agreement Amendment and the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment. Due to the increased interest rates and maturity amounts, the modification of terms was accounted for as debt extinguishment and all fees from the prior agreement were expensed as loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations.

Income Tax Benefit, Net

Our provision for income tax benefit, net includes the expected benefit of all deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. Some of our net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2025 and continue to expire through 2037. Our income tax benefit, net has been impacted by non-deductible expenses, including equity compensation and research and development amortization.

Net Loss

Net loss is determined by subtracting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes, and also adjusted to add back share-based compensation costs, changes in the fair value of the warrant liability and embedded derivatives and one-time costs related to the Business Combination, as these costs are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing, future company performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared to our peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely among companies within our industry. For example, share-based compensation costs can be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of our Common Stock or variations in the value and number of shares granted.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business because it excludes, among other things, the effects of certain transactions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.

We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results by focusing on our core operating results and is useful to evaluate our performance in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or earnings per share, as a measure of operating performance, cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures.

In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to certain limitations, including the following:

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments under the Fortress Credit Agreement;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax provision (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax provision is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;

●

Although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any costs of such replacements;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non-cash component of share-based compensation;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations; and

●

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We adjust for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.

Segments

Our business is organized around one reportable segment, the development and supply of broadband wireless products and technologies. This is based on the objectives of the business and how our chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.

Revenues

Revenues for the above periods are presented below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
($ in thousands)	2023		% of Revenue			2022		% of Revenue
Revenues:
Products and software licenses	$	28,855		89.8	%	$	44,028		93.8	%

Total revenues	$	32,123		100.0	%	$	46,945		100.0	%

Revenue from products and software licenses of $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $15.2 million from $44.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to decreases in sales of products to three customers in the U.S. of $17.7 million, other customers in the U.S. of $0.6 million, and other regions of $0.6 million. The reductions in revenue were offset by an increase in sales to one customer in the U.S. of $3.7 million.

Revenue from maintenance, warranty and services of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.3 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in NRE revenue of $0.6 million and service revenue of $0.1 million, offset by a decrease in maintenance revenue of $0.4 million.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the above periods are presented below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,

Total cost of revenues	$	25,390		79.0	%	$	28,117		59.9	%

Cost of revenues from products and software licenses of $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $2.9 million from $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to the decrease in revenue and indirect costs, offset by an inventory impairment charge of $7.2 million. A charge of $5.3 million relates to certain product initiatives that were eliminated or reduced as a result of the headcount reductions in the 2023 Restructuring Program and $1.9 million relates to an accrual for inventory on order for these eliminated or reduced product initiatives.

Cost of revenues from maintenance, warranty and services of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.1 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by revenue growth.

Research and development — Research and development expenses were $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $3.3 million from $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased headcount-related expenses of $2.6 million, decreased share-based compensation of $0.6 million, and decreased other costs of $0.1 million.

Sales and marketing — Sales and marketing expenses were $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $3.7 million from $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to decreased headcount-related expenses of $2.4 million, decreased share-based compensation of $0.7 million and decreased other costs of $0.6 million.

General and administrative — General and administrative expenses of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $5.4 million from $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased share-based compensation of $3.7 million, decreased headcount and related costs of $0.9 million, and decreased other costs of $0.8 million.

Amortization of intangibles — There was no amortization of intangibles for the three months ended June 30, 2023 in comparison to amortization of intangibles of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Restructuring costs — Restructuring costs related to employee termination costs of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to no restructuring costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022. We expect to incur further restructuring costs in 2023. The increase is a result of our announced 2023 Restructuring Program.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest expense, net — Interest expense, net was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.0 million from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to a higher average debt outstanding and the increase in the base interest rates charged in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Loss on extinguishment of debt — Loss on extinguishment of debt was $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. There was a $5.1 million loss on the extinguishment of the senior term loan and $3.2 million loss on the extinguishment of the convertible debt.

Change in fair value of warrant liability and derivatives — Change in fair value of warrant liability and derivatives was a gain of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $2.8 million from a gain of $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Other income (expense), net — Other income (expense), net was expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $2.0 million from expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The difference was primarily due to $2.0 million in foreign currency losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Income tax benefit, net — Income tax benefit, net was a benefit of $0.2 million and a benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $33.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a change of $12.6 million due to the same factors described above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was a loss of $15.2 million, representing a change of $2.9 million from a loss of $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the increase in net loss discussed above and certain higher adjusting items detailed in the table below.

The following table presents the reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues

Revenues for the above periods are presented below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
($ in thousands)	2023		% of Revenue			2022		% of Revenue
Revenues:
Products and software licenses	$	49,788		87.5	%	$	77,604		91.8	%
Maintenance, warranty and services		7,108		12.5	%		6,905		8.2	%
Total revenues	$	56,896		100.0	%	$	84,509		100.0	%

Revenue from products and software licenses of $49.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $27.8 million from $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to decreases in sales of products to three customers in the U.S. of $25.1 million, other customers in the U.S. of $1.4 million, and other regions of $5.0 million. The reductions in revenue were offset by an increase in sales to one customer in the U.S. of $3.7 million.

Revenue from maintenance, warranty and services of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.2 million from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in NRE revenue of $0.2 million.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the above periods are presented below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
($ in thousands)	2023		% of Revenue			2022		% of Revenue
Cost of revenues:
Products and software licenses	$	37,292		93.7	%	$	51,337		60.7	%

Total cost of revenues	$	39,816		98.1	%	$	53,612		63.4	%

Cost of revenues from products and software licenses of $37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $14.0 million from $51.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to the decrease in revenue and indirect costs, offset by an inventory impairment charge of $7.2 million. A charge of $5.3 million relates to certain product initiatives that were eliminated or reduced as a result of the headcount reductions in the 2023 Restructuring Program and $1.9 million relates to an accrual for inventory on order for these eliminated or reduced product initiatives.

Cost of revenues from maintenance, warranty and services of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.2 million from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Research and development — Research and development expenses were $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $5.6 million from $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased headcount expenses of $4.9 million and decreased share-based compensation of $1.0 million, offset by an increase in other costs of $0.3 million.

Sales and marketing — Sales and marketing expenses were $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $7.3 million from $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was the result of decreased headcount related costs of $4.3 million, decreased other costs of $1.6 million, and decreased share-based compensation of $1.4 million.

General and administrative — General and administrative expenses were $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $8.8 million from $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $7.2 million in share-based compensation, decreased headcount related costs of $1.4 million, and decreased other costs of $0.3 million.

Amortization of intangibles — Amortization of intangibles of $0.2 million was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in comparison to $0.6 million the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Restructuring costs — Restructuring costs related to employee termination costs of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased as there were no restructuring costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We expect to incur further restructuring costs in 2023. The increase is a result of our announced 2023 Restructuring Program.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest expense, net — Interest expense, net was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.9 million from $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to a higher average debt outstanding and the increase in the base interest rates charged in the six months ended June 30, 2023 than the same period in 2022.

Loss on extinguishment of debt — Loss on extinguishment of debt was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. There was a $5.1 million loss on the extinguishment of the senior term loan and $3.2 million loss on the extinguishment of the convertible debt.

Change in fair value of warrant liability and derivatives, net — Change in fair value of warrant liability and derivatives, net was a gain of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $2.7 million from a gain of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Other income (expense), net — Other income (expense), net was income of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a difference of $3.0 million an expense of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The difference was primarily due to $0.5 million in foreign currency gains for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.4 million in foreign currency losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income tax benefit, net — Income tax benefit, net was a benefit of $0.2 million for both of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $54.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $3.7 million due to the same factors described above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a loss of $29.0 million, representing a change of $1.3 million from a loss of $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the increase in net loss discussed above and certain higher adjusting items detailed in the table below.

The following table presents the reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The March 2023 failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and subsequent bank failures in 2023, created significant market disruption and uncertainty for those who bank with those institutions. These failures have raised significant concern regarding the stability of the banking system in the United States. While we do not hold our cash at any of these banks, if the banks and financial institutions at which we hold our cash enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents may be threatened and such events could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, preferred and common stock, and the sale of certain receivables. Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including sales, the extent of our spending on research and development, expansion of sales and marketing activities and market adoption of our products and services.

We had $75.0 million of current assets and $78.0 million of current liabilities as of June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $12.1 million in cash flows from operating activities, primarily from the net loss offset by non-cash adjustments. We are investing heavily in 5G research and development and expect to use cash from operations during the remainder of 2023 and through the first half of 2024 to fund research and development activities. Cash on hand and the available borrowing capacity under the Fortress Credit Agreement may not allow us to meet our forecasted cash requirements.

In order to address the need to satisfy our continuing obligations and realize our long-term strategy, management has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve our operating and financial results, including the following:

●

focusing our efforts to increase sales in additional geographic markets;

●

continuing to develop 5G product offerings that will expand the market for our products;

●

focusing our efforts to improve days sales outstanding to provide additional liquidity

●

selling the Mimosa business for approximately $60.0 million; and

●

continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce non-strategic costs in operations and expand our labor force in lower cost geographies, with headcount reductions in higher cost geographies.

Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables. DSO is calculated by dividing accounts receivable, net as of the end of the quarter by the average daily revenue for the quarter. Average daily revenue for the quarter is calculated by dividing the quarterly revenue by ninety days. All customer accounts are actively managed, and no losses in excess of amounts reserved are currently expected. DSO can fluctuate due to the timing and nature of contracts, as well as the payment terms of individual customers. DSO was 94 days and 101 days as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On August 6, 2015, we issued Golden Wayford Limited a $10.0 million subordinated Convertible Note Promissory Note (the “Golden Wayford Note”) pursuant to a subordinated convertible note purchase agreement, also dated August 6, 2015. The Golden Wayford Note, in the amount of $9.0 million plus interest, matured on June 30, 2020. We were not able to agree to an extended maturity date and the Golden Wayford Note remained outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and in default under the terms of the arrangement. We were granted a limited waiver under the Fortress Credit Agreement which waives each actual and prospective default and event of default existing under the Fortress Credit Agreement directly as a result of the non-payment of the Golden Wayford Note for so long as the Golden Wayford Note remains in effect. The waiver is limited to the actual and prospective defaults under the Fortress Credit Agreement as they existed on December 30, 2020 and not to any other change in facts or circumstances occurring after December 30, 2020. The waiver does not restrict Fortress from exercising any rights or remedies they may have with respect to any other default or event of default under the Fortress Credit Agreement or the related loan documents.

On December 30, 2020, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress. On August 13, 2021, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of our subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into the August 2021 Fortress Amendment to, among other things, add the Company as a guarantor, recognize and account for the Business Combination, recognize and account for the Convertible Notes and provide updated procedures for replacement of LIBOR. On March 29, 2022, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of our subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into the March 2022 Fortress Credit Amendment to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement. On May 18, 2023, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into the May 2023 Credit Agreement Amendment relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, (i) certain consents related to the Company’s previously disclosed divestiture of Mimosa, (ii) waive certain existing events of default under the Fortress Credit Agreement in the limited manner set forth therein, (iii) terminate the existing delayed draw term loan commitments under the Fortress Credit Agreement and establish new delayed draw term loan commitments in the aggregate amount of $25 million, (iv) modify the interest rates applicable to certain loans under the Fortress Credit Agreement, (v) provide for the issuance of 5,912,040 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, (vi) amend certain financial covenants and (vii) provide for additional fees related to the Fortress Credit Agreement, and (viii) amend and restate the Fortress Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement. See Note 10 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion on this agreement.

On August 13, 2021, we closed the business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated March 8, 2021, by and among the Company, Artemis Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, and Airspan Networks Inc. (prior to the Business Combination, “Legacy Airspan”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to certain investors that entered into subscription agreements concurrent with the Business Combination, at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate consideration of $75.0 million, and $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. On May 18, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement entered into the May 2023 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment to, among other things, (i) provide for certain consents relating to the Company’s previously disclosed divestiture of Mimosa, (ii) waive certain existing events of default under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement in the limited manner set forth therein, (iii) imposed a $2.5 million fee, which was capitalized to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to $52.5 million, (iv) increase the interest rate applicable to the Convertible Notes to 10.00%, and (v) provide for additional fees related to the Fortress Convertible Note Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Notes. On May 28, 2023, the Company reissued $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes.

As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. See Note 11 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion on this agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, we had commitments with our main subcontract manufacturers under various purchase orders and forecast arrangements of $73.5 million, of which $55.6 million relates to Mimosa. The majority of the commitments have expected delivery dates during the remainder of 2023.

The decrease is a result of $3.7 million less from results of our operations, offset by $6.2 million more generated from working capital and $7.8 million increase in non-cash adjustments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to fewer purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was related to $20 million of borrowings under the senior term loan in the second quarter of 2023, offset by the payment of debt issuance costs of $1.9 million and repayment of the senior term loan of $1.8 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and was related to the repayment of borrowings under the senior term loan.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the effectiveness of our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, net, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation and income taxes.

We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and may change as future events occur.

Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are very important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and that require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or otherwise complex. Our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for which there were no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2023, included the following:

	●	Goodwill;

	●	Share-based compensation;

	●	Revenue recognition; and

	●	Convertible Notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information on recent accounting pronouncements.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we have chosen to rely on certain reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, including, among other things, that we are not required to (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of NBA’s initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of NBA’s initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) when we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information regarding certain litigation to which we are a party.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) could result in a delisting of our common stock.

If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, the exchange may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting notification, we anticipate that we would take actions to restore our compliance with applicable exchange requirements, such as stabilize our market price, improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below such exchange’s minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with such exchange’s listing requirements.

On June 9, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the NYSE American stating that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Section 1003(a)(i) requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $2 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. Section 1003(a)(ii) requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $4 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $99.9 million as of March 31, 2023, and has had losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in each of its three most recent fiscal years.

However, Section 1003(a) states that the NYSE American will not normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, the securities of a listed company which is below standards (i) and (ii) of Section 1003(a) if the listed company is in compliance with the following two standards: (1) total value of market capitalization of at least $50 million; or total assets and revenue of $50 million each in its last fiscal year, or in two of its last three fiscal years; and (2) the listed company has at least 1.1 million shares publicly held, a market value of publicly held shares of at least $15 million and 400 round lot shareholders. As of June 9, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the first standard because it had total assets and total revenue of at least $50 million in its last fiscal year and was in compliance with the second standard, except that the current market value of publicly held shares was below $15 million.

Accordingly, the Letter stated that the Company must submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) by July 9, 2023 addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the Company Guide by December 9, 2024. If the Plan is not permitted or the Plan is not accepted, delisting proceedings will commence. In response to the Letter, the Company submitted the Plan to NYSE American, pursuant to which the Company also intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide.

The Company’s stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while the Company evaluates its various alternatives. The Company’s receipt of such notification from the NYSE American does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

On July 10, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE American stating that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide because the Company’s common stock was selling for a substantial period of time at a low price per share, which NYSE American determined to be a 30-trading day average of less than $0.20 per share. The Notice stated that the Company’s continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which NYSE American has determined to be no later than January 10, 2024.

However, NYSE American may take an accelerated delisting action that would pre-empt the cure period in the event that the common stock trades at a level viewed to be abnormally low.

As previously disclosed, on June 9, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the NYSE American stating that it is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the Company Guide and requesting that the Company submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) addressing how it intends to regain compliance. In response to the Letter, the Company submitted the Plan to NYSE American, pursuant to which the Company also intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide.

The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while the Company evaluates its various alternatives. The Company will also continue to be included in the list of NYSE American noncompliant issuers, and the below compliance (“.BC”) indicator will continue to be disseminated with the Company’s ticker symbol(s).
